OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – Two people are dead and another two are injured following an accident involving a stolen vehicle and police pursuit from Norman to Oklahoma City Friday morning, according to News 9.

A driver of a black SUV then collided with the Ford pickup, resulting in the death of the suspect at the scene and of a 69-year-old, who died at the hospital of injuries sustained during the collision.
